Ground Y × BABYMETAL “GALAXY” Collection

Ground Y × BABYMETAL “GALAXY” Collection

We are launching a fashion collection featuring Babymetal, a metal dance unit formed in 2010 that is evolving as new metal born from the emotions of light and darkness, two-sidedness, and imbalance, as well as other chemical reactions. Advance sales will be available at our Shibuya Parco shop, which is opening on November 22 (Friday).

Born from the fusion of the spirit of Babymetal--which has toured the world numerous times and joined the tours of many other artists as guest acts, energetically traveled the globe and pursued their own unique world view--and Ground Y--which has inherited the manufacturing DNA of Yohji Yamamoto, a brand that has continually revolutionized the fashion world with a rebellious spirit that refuses to be swept along by the times--this collection was inspired by Galaxy.

As homage to Babymetal ’s third album,Metal Galaxy, which was released worldwide on October 11 after a break of around three-and-a-half years, we created a fantastical collection featuring galaxy-inspired patterns on Yohji Yamamoto ink-black cloth.

Enjoy the graphic jumbo cut-and-sew items fusing the logos of Ground Y and the BMD Fox Apparel brand--which took on the challenges of exceeding the framework of existing concepts to enable Babymetal to present new stories and new lifestyles--as well as the exquisite drape and lustrous texture of long silk-satin shirts printed with galaxy patterns reconstructed through the Yohji Yamamoto filter and processed three-dimensionally.More, the addition of 360-degree prints to big hoodies and big cut-and-sew featuring the Babymetal logo in cursive writing creates a bold finish.

The photographs shown were taken by Masatoshi Yamashiro, a fashion magazine and promotions photographer who began his career in Los Angeles and New York and is currently based in Tokyo.
